David Pakman pushes back on the far left extremists infiltrating the Democratic Party
Also brings up the Hasan/Destiny drama at the College Democrats of America convention
"Republicans..back in 2010 their leaders..laughed at the Tea Party..they're far right, internet trolls, they're not gonna do anything..and then the Tea Party took over local organizations, threatened primaries, built their own media universe, and eventually..gave us Donald Trump..the left and the Democrats can't make the same mistake"
"There is small group of far left extremists gaining influence inside youth groups and party organizations, bc they spend all day online organizing and enforcing ideological purity and attacking anyone who disagrees..I am not talking about the ppl who want Medicare for all and affordable housing, I want that stuff..these are folks who treat political warfare like a full time job, and when they can't build their own coalition, they attach themselves to popular causes..they take real concerns about healthcare, housing, police misconduct, and use them to sell what is actually an authoritarian worldview"
"My one hesitation about confronting this now and why I went back and forth..publicly exposing the rot could make moderate voters think the entire Democratic Party has been infected, but I don't think silence is really going to hide it"
"I saw a crazy thing from the weekend where there was a College Democrats convention..Hasan Piker was dressed like Mao, I guess Destiny tried to show up and he was banned from entering, allegedly bc the Mao dressed Piker didn't want him there"
"Republicans are going to put these clips everywhere..they are going to take abolish the police and abolish prisons and abolish borders and play them on a loop for 6 months"
